The festival will take place on Thursday the 25th November. No time as yet, but as it's a nightime event then any time after 1700 Egypt time, 1500 GMT.

It should appear here on the presidential youtube channel, just as the mummy parade did, and with English voice over and HD,,which other outlets did not have. But as I'm keeping my ear close to the ground on this one, I'll post a link when they start the countdown.
In the meawhile, here is one of the replica sacred barques sitting in front of the temple of Khonsu.

The Opet Festival was held, at various points in EA history, either in II Akhet, III Akhet, or straddled both. We are now in II Akhet, and III Akhet begins next week on November 10th. To celebrate restoration work on the Grand Processional Way, aka the Avenue of Sphinxes, a new Opet Festival will be held, presumably sometime next week on or around Thursday. A precise date and time has not been gi

I'm sitting back and chuckling over this. We can all make errors, read something too quickly and make a false assumption, as I did recently in a thread asking about a hieroglyph, and read tekenu as tekhenu, a small difference in spelling, but a huge difference in meaning. It happens, but it's not the end of the world, but never have I seen any

I don't know if there is any truth in the notion of Nefertum being referenced in the texts about the king ascending, but it seems to me to be a fit, and they do reference gods in some very oblique ways at times. I've not come across the idea before, but wil

Yet another insulting post of profound ignorance and arrogance.
I do not make a post of at least a modicum of erudition in order for it to be dismissed by an ignoramus such as you, a man who does not even understand something as basic as the function of baboons in AE religion, and in fact shows profound ignorance of all aspects of Ancient Egypt.

An observation on censing and ascending.
The purpose of censing is not to create smoke per se, but a fragrance, and in fact the PT do talk about scent. The fact that hot smoke from burning incence rises, and that the PT are describing the ascension of the king on this smoke, should not be seen as the king actually rising as this smoke, but instead what we are reading could, IMO, be an allusion

I'm sure that's what they will do and go screaming and stamping their feet with their eyes closed and fingers in their ears. What I worry about though is that officialdom may take their side and cause issues surroundin

The great DNA club of smiting is about to really come down on them soon.

I believe there is based on a conversation with a poster in another forum, but I'm not sure where to find it, and believe it is only part of the entire thing.

I'll add that the article linked is from 2017, a later article published last year on Tutankhamun's DNA, and those of all his known relatives who have been tested, show them to all have originated in an area stretching from Europe to the Levant. If the macro haplogroup U is included, from which K is derived, then their ancestors could have originated anywhere between Western Europe and

Here's another reason why they cannot be "air shafts". Just who was it that would be needing this air? The pyramid is built from the ground up, so the workers will always be in the open as construction moves up. Take the QC shafts, by the time the hight of the pyramid had reached the point where the shafts terminate

I think absolutely nothing at all and it is a distraction, but a talking point for some. I'm almost surprised that the entry ticket found in the QC north shaft was not leaped upon as "evidence" for time travel, but st

I see a problem with these shafts pointing to a specific destination. The Egyptians saw the king's journey in the afterlife as a journey through the heavens/underworld, not to just one spot, or four, simultaneously or in sequence?. While this journey of the king is not explicitly stated in the 4th Dynasty, the presence of the boats makes it implicit I think. That these shafts only appear in

Yes, that's the solar baboons, and replicated nine times could be seen as suitable for some form of "mass production", but clearly not, hence my mention.
On the scene from KV14 I would not like to say that I see phi, and to be honest it's what the scene shows that is interesting to me, not ratios that may or may not exist. I will comment though that what we see in the layo

This is X8, one of the signs for bread. When used in reference to a king it can also be used as a "cryptographic" replacement for D37 (to give), of which X8 forms a part.

Absolutely, as these walls have been a gap in my knowledge. Now it has to be determined why they built walls like this, specifically like the ones at the new site that are free standing and have seemingly no structual function. Just a boundary marker? after reading several articles now, there is still some doubt in my mind as
